Hello, First Timer Here Needs Advice

Camino Frances(2015)
Hello, I will be embarking on the Camino journey for the first time in about 6 weeks & I need some advice.

First, I'm undecided on whether to do the Camino Frances or Via De La Plata.

I would like to know what the estimated time for each one is. I know it can vary but I hope to average between 15-25 km a day.

Which one is more cost efficient, as far as accommodation & food go? Will I be able to do any wild camping by setting up a hammock for the night on either?

I also make some money as a street musician from time to time & was wondering which route would have better opportunities for cities to busk in.

Any other recommendations or tips about the routes would be very much appreciated!

Cheers!
